Anyone honestly suggesting Warriors as an option needs to do their homework. We'll be back in the same boat eventually, it's just a matter of time.

The people demanding the name change and suggesting Warriors as an alternative... well, it shows how much they know about the offensiveness they claim to care so much about.

Wrong. My high school mascot was The Warriors, but it's always represented as a knight or Robin Hood-type figure (Sherwood HS, apparently named that because the woods nearby were like those in the Robin Hood legend). Apparently back in the day they did us NA symbols but that got changed a long time ago.
Personally, I've always liked the idea of the name Warriors with an ancient Greek solider look. I thought it fit in with the designs of many of the buildings around The Mall in DC.
In either case, apparently it's okay to use European style imagery, at least for now.
